Weekly contest now includes all levels of players

So, it used to be that you competed with players who were around the same level as you, so they were facing the same challenges you were. Now, the weekly contest includes all players and each week, I find myself falling way short - I might complete 45 levels whereas new players are completing 100's of levels.

So not fair!

Welcome! 👋

I agree 100%. I have pretty much given up on trying to find anything in here. It used to be so clear and intuitive. Now it’s utterly frustrating and not worth the effort.

And I just posted the comment below in the Chocolate Box revamp thread. Not even going to try to insert it here any other way. I feel like I’m cracking up.

Edit: this new forum is driving me mad. The word above appeared as a post in this thread, but I never posted it. I deleted my drafts days ago, if that’s where it came from but I can’t imagine that it did. Having discovered it by chance, I edited it to read … Now I go in and find the one-word post is still there.

I’m finding this new layout head-wrecking enough without it gaslighting me.»

I totally agree.

I couldn't agree more. This website is doing my head in now.

This thread is an example of how hard it is to stay current on all threads with the new subthread approach.

I noticed this thread had unread posts, so I clicked on it. Now, anyone who reads it will see my post and think they have read all the posts here. But if you scroll all the way to the very first response post, you will see that the original poster replied there to that first response about an hour and a half before I posted this. For those of you reading this, would you have noticed that original poster's post if I hadn't mentioned it here?

Forums should have replies done by quoting a previous post. Subthreads are a terrible idea for forums. This change should be rolled back. It is a bad change - subthreads have no place in a forum.

I hear you about it being going on for a while but have to take issue with being able to compete (win) the race (I agree getting on the podium isn't that hard) but when (like this week) I complete 60 levels above 20000 and finish second to someone who just started playing this week and has 393 levels, I

Wow! You changed your photo finally, so I can find out your threads easily 😆

This week my Weekly Contest has changed, from 8 players to 6 players only.

That's a wise choice and I have made that same choice and am putting Cornflower on hold until the Alien Invasion is over. That event is just such a booster-hungry mess.

It looks like we've got the same opponents:

I'm not surprised, since our players cards are very similar this week: both on 45 levels. 😄

The first screenshot is from June when I hadn't played any levels for a long time and the second is from September after I played that single Episode.

Last week I played three episodes and this is my Race at the moment.

It wasn't that long ago that you would have been right about getting easier opponents by not playing as twelve months ago I quite often had a Race that I could have won by playing one Episode.

I have decided not to play anymore new levels whilst the Alien Invasion is active.

Yes, I have found that around 45 is the minimum that King expect us to crush in a week to get to the podium. And this does apply to players who do not play any new levels as well. That is three episodes, so it should be achievable for most players. Anyone who is permanently stuck on one level is obviously not going to win the weekly races. In fact King don't seem to have much sympathy or help for anyone not prepared to pay their way out of impossible levels with gold any more. Players have reported no lucky boards for hundreds of attempts on some levels now.

The first prize may well be out of reach for you here, but I regularly see competitors who have crushed many hundreds in first. You don't have to get first to get to the grand prize chest for getting on the podium three consecutive weeks. First is always almost unachievable for any player given their playing history, so I'm not surprised you see someone with a score of 104. That is very meagre compared to some that I see.

However I do note the difference between the two screenshots. It would be of interest to know exactly when these were taken @Alienscar . I am asking because you did play one single episode recently and I wonder if this may have affected the first board. It might help understand the time delay involved.

Alienscar

Try it out: Don't play for a few weeks and then you will get easier opponents. It's all fake.

I don't see any evidence of that in my game @christinewupp

As you know I haven't been playing new levels for months and the people in my Weekly Contest are still showing as completing 50 or more levels a week. I suppose it depends on what you mean by easier. Not everyone can/wants to play three or more episodes a day.

@Mike_Baskey This is not a new change, it's been like this the beginning of the year. The event is 100% manufactured by King now and the people they pick for you to compete against are chosen according to your own previous playing style and the numbers of level you yourself passed in the previous weeks. So all of us find that:

To win we will have to play more levels than we normally play
To get onto the podium we will have to play about as much as we usually play
The remaining four players are easy to beat

Try it out: Don't play for a few weeks and then you will get easier opponents. It's all fake.
